Mr. Sobota explained tha# it has been the City's. policy to provide street stubs to adjacent undeveloped or underdeveloped properties for future access when they are developed or redeveloped. The rationale for these connections is to address vehicular, .pedestrian and emergency vehicle access needs. Mr. Sobota further indicated that extensive discussions and thorough studies have been conducted regarding the existing topography, soils conditions and tree inventory, and it was determined that the proposed location represents the. most logical area for a future east/west connection, with the-least amount of impact to the proposed subdivision and the properties to the west. Mayor Zaun outlined the concerns raised by the residents at the Planning Commission meeting regarding construction of the proposed stub street for the future east/west connection to their neighborhood. {See Page 6 of April 18, 1996, Planning Commission meeting minutes) There were no additional comments from the audience. Councimember Johnson asked what the economic impact would be to the existing property if the stub street were connected. Mr. Sobota explained that there would actually be an economic advantage to the property to the west if the street is extended, because sanitary sewer could be brought into the .area and the existing two and one-half acre lots could be split. However, he pointed out that the properties cannot be split, and the street connection cannot be -made, until redevelopment of the property to the west occurs. Mayor Zaun pointed outthe necessity for good traffic. circulation for the community's future needs. He stated he feels it is the intent of this community in thorough planning. to :make some connection between the two neighborhoods. Since the watermain is going to be extended in the area, he .felt it makes good planning. sense to also stub the street in at this time as originally proposed. Councilmember Johnsonstated he feels the stub street is in keeping with the City's .past practice and is necessary to avoid future problems with regard to .intent. Councilmember Holberg reminded the. property owners that they are in control of the westerly street connection and agreed that stubbing the street makes w good planning sense.
